For Sale-SOLD

I have the London kit by Thea Gouveneur with white linen for sale. I have decided that I want to do her city kits on black fabric instead of the white. I know I could have just changed the fabric but I was able to get the kit with black fabric at a great deal so I purchased it. I did open the package to look at the contents but everything needed is included. I am asking $100 and I will give free shipping if shipped in the US. Paypal only.
If you are interested, please email me.

Haul, Not Much Stitching, and Plans

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July filled with family, laughter, food, and celebration. I had four days off from work and planned to stitch the hours away. However, we were out and about and that just didn't happen. I was able to do a small amount and I have a new start! I have had the pattern since the Nashville market in March but just received my fabric. It took me a little bit to decide what to use.

Let Freedom Ring by Lila's Studio-It is being stitched on 28 count Properly Primitive by Under the Sea Fabrics. It is a very small start as I did have the border in the corner completed and after I stitched the flower, I realized the border color was not correct and I had to rip it out.

I still have not had much of a stitchy bug for a few weeks but I am hoping that is returning. At least I do feel like it is.

Now for the haul.

Properly Primitive by Under the Sea Fabrics

Zephyrus by Under the Sea Fabrics

Foxglove by Mirabilia

Bead Pack for Foxglove

Mothers Prayer by Rosewood Manor but is a kit by Janlynn

I do have a couple more items that were ordered before the Stitch from Stash started on July 1. I didn't do well at all with the first one that was from January to June so I am changing around plans a bit to make sure I do better this time. I have been thinking of a rotation that would work for me for a good while and just wasn't sure how to set it up. However, I think I now have a plan.

I have picked two Heaven and Earth Designs:
Henry VIII-one that I will be starting this weekend.
Gothic Cross

I will stitch one hour a day on Henry VIII until I get a page finish and then I will go to Gothic Cross and do the same thing. I think if I rotate between two of them this way, I can make some pretty good progress.

I have picked 7 other projects:
Let Freedom Ring-Lila's Studio I just started this one this week.

Heartstring Samplery Small I am almost finished with this project.

London-Thea Gouveneur This will be a new start as I ordered it last week on the black fabric.

Americana Series-Little House Needleworks This project is also a new start that I will start sometime next week.

Brookes Books Advent Animal ornaments It was my goal to do two a month this year and right now I am a little behind. I only have the border to finish on number 4 and I will continue to add one of these in the rotation until they are all finished.

Save the Stitches-Blackwork Journey I have started this one and am excited to get back to it.

Angel of Love-Lavender and Lace I started this piece a few months ago and this is one I have wanted to do for years.

I will stitch one one project a day so that I will touch them all each week. After I stitch on the HAED of the day for an hour, I will then spend whatever time I have left to stitch for the day on one of these. I will then add in a project when one is finished. I know that I will have to amend this a bit once stitching on George Washington Crossing the Delaware starts but I think this is a rotation that I can really do and keep up with and hopefully make a dent in my wips and get several more finishes this year.

Weekly Stitching

I hope everyone is having a fabulous Monday! I can't believe it is already June and summer is starting. The weekend was beautiful out but back to rain today. I hope you have been able to get in lots of stitching lately.

I decided to start a small over the weekend so I can feel like I am getting some finishes. I have just about decided that I am going to start a small each month since most of my projects are BAP's.

I bought this as a kit and is a quick stitch.

I am currently participating in two round robins and wanted to show what I stitched on in May. May was the first month for both of these. The first one is a Lizzie Kate theme and I stitched the second line on this one. There are five of us in this round robin.

The second one is a Band Sampler theme where we will stitch a band of our choosing on everyone's piece. I stitched the second line on this one as well. There are nine of us in this one and this will make a nice long piece.

The person that had my Band Sampler posted a picture of what she did on it in May and here it is. I did the alphabet and she stitched the remainder. I am so pleased with this band. I sent fall colors for mine and this is so pretty.

I hope you all have a great week!

Stitchers Needed-Washington Crossing the Delaware

I have posted about this project before and how excited I am to be a part of it. Panels and supplies are going out to participants, however, there are more stitchers needed to help complete this project.

You can go to the blog or to the facebook group and sign up.

The piece will be the largest stitched piece on record and will be hopefully be placed in the Guinness Book of World Records and be hung in a museum for all to enjoy. Come on-you know you want to be a part of an historical event!

Weekly Update and Haul

Happy Memorial Day! I hope you all have had a great holiday weekend.

I was able to work on two projects this past week. The first one is Medieval Town Mandala by Chatelaine.

I also worked on Gothic Cross by Heaven and Earth Designs and was able to get quite a bit done.

And now for haul-I got some pretty great stuff this past week.

The first two selections in the American Series.

I purchased fabric for this project as I am going to stitch all 9 on one piece of fabric.
This is 32 count Tin Roof.

I got two pieces of this blue and white gingham that I am going to use for a Wizard of Oz pattern that I got out of a magazine. I apologize that I can't show the pattern as I only have the actual pattern and not a picture of the finished project. I am stitching this twice, ond for me and one for a friend.

Isn't this fabric fantastic?! I saw someone that had used this fabric and stitched a mermaid on it and I thought I need that too!

I hope this week is great for you all and you find time to get some stitches in.

Weekly Update

I think I should call this monthly update since I haven't posted in about a month. I was a bit under the weather and so was my husband, then it seemed like so much going on that I just didn't get to the blog. I have also lost my stitchy bug a bit. I want to stitch but everything I pick up just seems to not want me to work on it. I am sure hoping I get my I want to stitch vibe back really soon.

I did start two new projects in hope that it would help.
This is Gothic Cross by HAED.

The completed project will look like this.

I have had this project for a long time but it has intimidated me. I decided that it was time to start it.
Medieval Town Mandala by Chatelaine.

The completed project will look like this.

I hope you are having a great stitchy time and getting lots of projects completed. I do have some haul on the way and I will post that as soon as I get it.

Weekly Stitching and Haul

Happy Tuesday Ya'll! This sun is shining bright here today and should be in the upper 70's. I am so excited the weather is getting nice and will be decorating my porch in flowers soon.

Since I finished two projects recently, I thought I should reward myself with a new start. I saw this hanging in an LNS about 20 years ago and knew I had to stitch it and I should not have waited so long. This is Angel of Love by Lavender and Lace.

I joined a round robin group on facebook and my mini introductory round is finished so I was able to join a large round for May. I actually joined two but only have one project to show you this week. The first one is a Band Sampler and I wanted mine to start off with an alphabet. I may add some vines and flowers around the alphabet, but I haven't yet decided just what I want to use. I am very excited about this as I am a big fan of band samplers and I can't wait to see what everyone adds to my piece.

I also joined one that is a Lizzie Kate theme and I have chosen Dog Rules for People. I will be able to show my start on it next week.



I got my first RAK this past week from a friend of mine. Gothic Cross by Heaven and Earth Designs. I did purchase the thread over the weekend and I already had fabric that would work, I plan to start this soon.

I don't have alot this week but hope you enjoy this post!
